Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 3538949, member: 1423"] Sid was a glass-cleaner the last 6 games of the season (10+ RB's every game) ... all against conference opponents. Based on that and his experience (senior), his 7.6 rpg should go up. 8-8.5 rpg seems within range. Scoring, however, will require a bigger leap. From last year (6 ppg), a modest increase to 8 or 8.5 ppg still wouldn't put him in double/double territory, but it would give us some inside balance. The pressure on the position might also abate with two seemingly able backups. As RF noted, we will likely see Merek at the 5 in the last few minutes, with leads, etc. (nice to have that flexibility). But hopefully, Edwards conditioning/readiness and/or Anselem's athleticism will create some additional roster options, so that between the two we get some productive backup minutes. That will allow Merek to avoid fouls and stay in the game at his natural position - now a more acute need with Guerrier recovering from surgery. [/QUOTE]
